Blog Post Image: After Newtown: A new use for a weapons-detecting radar?

Professor Kamal Sarabandi approaches a mannequin he uses to test his weapons-detecting radar system in an anechoic chamber. His technology could potentially identify a hidden gun or bomb on an approaching person from the distance of a football field away in less than a second. The red dot on the mannequin shows the center of the radar beam, but it can gather information about objects hidden on the subject’s torso.

In the aftermath of the Newtown school shooting, a University of Michigan, College of Engineering professor Kamal Sarabandi
envisions a new use for a weapons-detecting radar system he’s been developing for the
past few years. The technology could potentially identify a hidden gun or bomb on an
approaching person from the distance of a football field away in less than a second. Photo by Marcin Szczepanski/Multimedia Producer, University of Michigan, College of Engineering
